The Faint, Saddle Creek pioneer of early aughts dance-punk, comes to Ybor City this weekend

We can at least relive the music this weekend thanks to The Faint. A throwback from the golden days of Saddle Creek—and featuring Reptar’s Graham Ulincy on keys—the dance-punk band has spent the last few years revisiting its classic albums Blank-Wave Arcade (1999) and Wet from Birth (2004), which could make up a bulk of the night after hyper-punk band Cozy In The Black opens. Tampa’s infamous Thee Liquid Jesus DJs—throwbacks themselves from the days when we’d all wait patiently at our laptops while downloading bootlegs off MediaFire—spin in between. Tickets to see The Faint, Cozy In The Black, and Thee Liquid Jesus at Zodiac Live in Ybor City on Saturday, Nov. 14 are still available and start at $39.55.
